While some equipment may be cooled with air, many processes use cooling water to keep the equipment sufficiently cool so as to provide reliable long-term service.
Industrial process water is used for manufacturing processes such as washing, coating and plating, and rinsing and spraying, and boiler and cooling tower water. There may be several steps involved in the treatment process. To keep this simple, I will start at a fundamental level to look chiefly at the treatment of boiler water and cooling water.
The winner of our inaugural Process Heating & Cooling Innovation Award is Robert J. Ferguson of French Creek Software, Valley Forge, Pa. The award, presented at the 2022 Process Heating & Cooling Show, recognized Rob’s recognizes the result of his life’s work: improving cooling water treatment.
Understand current trends in industrial cooling water treatment and water treatment options such as non-phosphorus water treatment chemicals and engineered copper filmers.
An annual charity golf tournament hosted by SPX Cooling Technologies Inc., Overland Park, Kan., on May 19, raised more than $65,000 for two organizations.
Absorption chillers offer distinct, and sometimes surprising, advantages for industrial cooling applications. To truly evaluate the cost-effectiveness of an absorption chiller, it is critical to take into account how COPs correspond with actual energy costs.
In cooling towers, biofilms cause microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and equipment failures; in membrane systems, biofilms cause scaliing and reduce the life of the equipment. Learn how one pharmaceutical company handled the problem when biological fouling threatened their process.
Whether packaged, modular units or field-erected, multi-cell towers, cooling towers designed for industrial process applications deliver effective evaporative cooling.
When working with river water as a cooling water source, the careful selection of the heat exchanger for critical cooling processes can help boost efficiency.
Almost every manufactured product uses water somewhere in the production process. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), industrial water is used for fabricating, processing, washing, diluting, cooling or transporting products.
